I just found a suicide note in poetry form I had written a year ago. I thought people should see this and hear my testimony. I had grown up in a Christian home and was saved when I was 6 or so. I lived a life to glorify God but then found a girl who liked me around 2 years ago. She had just barely come out of wicca, and had been a Christian for only 3 months.

We hung out and talked a lot and everything seemed to be amazing about her. She was fun, and kind, and many other things. I found no reason to not date her. So we began to go out and everything changed, she wasn't that same person. No longer would she go anywhere with me, and all she wanted was to have me in her home. I began to wear black and dye my hair black, it came to a point where all I had in my dresser was black. I became aggressive and rebellious to my parents, though at church I seemed to have everything together. I honestly thought I did.

Though the girl I dated was out of Wicca she still loved it, I skipped school with her to go to a shop that was purely for magick and witchcraft. I felt very uneasy but I still went in and looked around. They bought their items and we left. We were with couple other kids who were still dabbling in Witchcraft.

We broke up and she dated every other guy after that, and my heart became very hard. It was the first time I had felt what it was to be used. My parents didn't seem to care or get it, everyone was against me, or so it seemed. So I had enough. I wrote this poem and was ready to take my life.

IF YOU ARE LIGHT OF HEART PLEASE DO NOT READ AND SCROLL PAST IT
[font=Times New Roman, Times, serif]

Today lifes agony found me,
I knew its wide spread grip,
By the time you read this you've found me,
From this corpse seen blood drip,

Now its payback cry your tears,
Or do you miss me seeing I'm dead,
Did you truely love your careers,
More then every word I have said,

It doesn't matter anymore,
To God, to you, or any man,
This is what life was meant for,
To be born, to die, and feel no more,

Now read this carefully,
Watch my death in words,
Now after this you'll say I'm unholy,
I say no Hell's bells, or Heavenly chords,

Here father I'll use your gun,
You helped kill me anyways,
You never said "I love you son"
And with T.V. you spent your days,

In my mouth the barrel I place,
Pull the trigger slowly,
Oh I wish I could see your face,
When you find this letter my only trace


I found that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger. I know that God was watching over me and protecting me. It didn't stop anything though. I dated another girl who had many problems in her own life. That is when I started to get into wicca, and began to cut myself. I saw myself as something that people only used and didn't care about. The second girl broke up with me and moved away.

I was alone after that, not knowing where to go. I had no friends really, just people who thought I was something I wasn't. I sat down and started to pray, and seek God to get me out of the mess I made. He wrote me this

[/font] Come My son,
I love you,
Yes My son,
You're a sinner its true,
But don't let guilt,
Drive you away,
Listen My son to what I say,
Yes you back-stabbed,
Swore and lied,
Even laughed at others,
Who suffured and died,
Do you think I see sin,
One above the other,
I don't set man,
One above another,
Oh My son,
Come to me,
I will comfort you,
I will hear your plea,
Hear Me My son,
Don't let your soul die,
For I am willing,
To embrace your cry.

God forgave me that day and I've been walking with Him ever since. It has been a hard walk, and I have just barely gotten to where I have color back in my dresser. I gave away my bondage pants and threw out all my evil things. I won't say 'goth' is evil, but it can lead to evil things.

I wrote this testimony not for oohs and awes, but so people will know that God is forgiving and He will take us back. My past is dark and very wrong. But God can still use it for His glory and thats who I hope gets the glory in all of this. :amen:

Thanks, I am glad this blessed you all. I only wish this wasn't my testimony and on that first post it would have been one of being kept by God instead of one that I regret. I pray though, that when I have children they will have that testimony. By the grace of God I am here today, and by the grace of God, my children will have a kept testimony of His grace. God bless

A great testimony about the grace and love of God. Thanks for sharing! Here is a poem I wrote about a friend of mine who tried to commit suicide:

[size=+1]Satan's Suicide Death Angel Defeated[/size]​
by Irvin L. Rozier
This poem was based on a true event...See my story, A Suicide Prevented

The Lord told me to get up and go
To minister to a soul under Satan's control
The Holy Spirit guided me
To her house, I drove to see

This poor soul who was in the dark
In her yard my car I did park
Satan convinced her that her life was over
The suicide death angel around her did hover

An overdose of pills she did take
An end to her life she thought to make
I took her to the emergency room
Her stomach they pumped, saved her from doom

The Lord's timing was oh so plain
That night Satan was defeated, hell had no gain
Later this woman was born again
A new life with Jesus she did begin

So another Jesus fan was made
For her soul the ultimate price He paid
I'm so glad that I am the Lord's man
He uses me to tell others of salvation's plan

Wow! That is amazing, isn't it great to be used by God and see miracles happen? I love to decrease, cause the only thing that can happen is God increase :)

Praise God that you couldn't go through with the suicide, I know what its like to try to kill or want to kill yourself , I was obsessed with suicide and death for years the thoughts still plague me sometimes, but I know what it is like loosing someone to suicide .

I've last a grandpa and aunt and 2 freinds to suicide in the space of 19 yrs, Its something one never fully gets over.

It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Praise God you alive !!!:D :clap:

Love In Christ

I am also very glad that your testimony took this Christ blessed turn, because it resembles my own in several ways. You are very correct in suspecting witchcraft...It is much like some deadly, potent poison which is dangerous in any amount. The wonderful thought about your progress in Christ is that if you can latch onto Him by a sincere and unsophisticated faith...If you can only take hold of but the hem of His garment, you can get the entire paradisical realm of the third heavens, all in His good time and in His way, not our own.

Hmmmm Laura .......... and I know what it's like to try to to try to keep you in a chatroom when you get like that, until I know that your okay. Your friends at Christians Online.CC tend to worry about you, we don't want yours or anyone else's life to end like that.

breathingforJC, sucide isn't the answer. God has put each one of us here for a very specific reason. I too know what it's like to long for my life, as I now know it, to end. Instead of commiting suicide, I turned to Jesus instead. I laid everything at the feet of Jesus and he did the rest. God placed some very specific people into my life to help me through that storm. The following are verses that I use to find some comfort in when thing got tough.

John 15:18-19
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

CJD, Not sure if you read my testimony or not, but I don't think suicide is the answer :)

I never did really, I just saw it as the easiest way out, which I guess is kind of "the answer" just not a good one. But yea, if I was still contemplating suicide my user wouldn't be breathingforJC.

Nice testimony. But, I fail to see how the color black is relevant.

The color black says to many people evil, or sad. Something to that effect. Like the ying yang is black and white signifying neutrality, nothing is good or evil.

Have you ever worn all black time after time? People start noticing. Once no one really says anything, but its when it becomes something more, becomes something of a lifestyle. If you wear certain clothes you are put into certain categories, and either that category is your life style or that 'look' is your crutch. Agree with me or not its still there.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Tell someone something long enough they will begin to believe it"? Black was a part of me when I was a part of wicca, when I finally gave up that, I was able to completely let go of all that was evil. I'm not saying black is evil, I am just saying it was something I personally had to let go of.

I still wear black, but not exessive black. Its one of my favorite things to wear, but I don't let that become my crutch or my lifestyle.

I am very, very glad for you. I was into Wicca about a year and a half ago. I began to wear black also, as you did. It was a very bad part in my life, and I felt I had no escape. But then, my parents started to notice, me excessively wearing black, and my mom wouldnt let me out of the hosue if I looked like that. I decided, it was time to get myself together, because all along when I was practicing wicca, I had JESUS in the back of my mind, my conscience wouldn'yt back down, and in ways, I think it was the Holy ghost, and when I got out of the wicca, and turned my life around, I struggled, and had doubts, but now, here I am, am more of a Christian than I ever was, ans just so lately, I've been on fire for Jesus.


Peace & Love brother, and I will pray that the Lord keep you safe through your journey of Faith. :hug:

Nuns and priests wear black. In medieval spain black was also popular for the royalty. Widowers wear black. It has been traditionally seen as a modest color, and yes, one for mourning usually. But, not every culture has the same beliefs about colors. In Asia black clothes are fine and white clothes can represent death and are worn at funerals. And the yin-yang = good & evil isn't exactly accurate... yin is the shadowy feminine and yang is the bright masculine with tons of other analogies but Daoists don't really believe that one is particularly good and one particularly evil.

And a suit is usually black. Different cultures bring different things, I'm not in one of those cultures so the reaction is different. Black was something dark for me, and others, just as meat is something some will not eat and some will.

All the black you talked of was for something, it represented something Mourning, respect, funerals. Do you know what Goth is? Walk into Hot Topic, it is something that highly holds death in a place it shouldn't be. Not to all, but thats really the underlying thing. Just as black in funerals, black is worn to disapear from past hurt and hide from the world. Heavy make-up to hide the face. You see a lot of the culture in america wrapped around black (obbssesive black) is gothic.

Amazing! comment can be easily translated! Amazing testimony
I have never heard so many wiccas to exist..
so true, has the world gone "wild"
so true, has the world began to spawn children of death more and more..
so true, has the bible predicted (revelation)
surely, Christ shall return in our life time!
